'The Sinner': Three burning questions we need answered in season 2 episode 2

As the first episode left several clues as to why a child would commit a crime, episode 2 might answer our questions about what led to such a turn of events.
PUBLISHED AUG 6, 2018

The second season of 'The Sinner' opened with a bang. As Detective Harry Ambrose returns to his hometown Keller to help Heather investigate a strange case, he soon finds himself reeling under the memories of his mother and his childhood trauma. 

Unlike the first season, this time, the case involves an 11-year-old who kills his parents in cold blood. In the first episode, Julian kills his parents, Mr and Mrs Lowry, while they stopped at a motel during their trip to the Niagara Falls. Julian does confess that he had poisoned his parents with gypsum weed (also known as devil's snare). One characteristic of the weed is that people do not even fathom its poisonous feature, most of the time it almost goes unnoticed by any passerby. The sheer genius of 'The Sinner' is right here that Julian too would never come across as murderer due to his tender age.
